INVARIANCE IN ELEMENTARY PARTICLE PHYSICS

Journal Article · · Repts. Progr. Phys.
An account is given of the invariance properties that have important applications in elementary particle physics. These can be classified in several ways. Firstly, some are related to continuous groups (rotations), others to discrete groups (inversions). Secondly, some are related to groups of well-known geometrical or kinematical significance (ordinary space time), others are not and are peculiar to elementary particle physics (isobaric space). Finally, some are rigorously valid while others are of approximate nature. The discussion aims to cover all cases and their interpretation. In as far as possible explicit use of quantum field theory techniques is avoided. (auth)
